Need help! asap

We are about to install this Holly stealth ram on my TPI car. The instructions say it requires a smaller distributor. My MSD 6AL will solve this problem? Sorry, im a noob when it comes to working on cars. I just dont wanna start taking parts off to find out I cant finish. Any tips would be appreciated

its a 87 IROC 350

The 6AL is an ignition box not a distributor. Two totally different things.

Is your current distributor a large or small cap?
